Maximize regenerative braking: Use the B mode for regenerative braking to reduce wear on physical brake pads.
Regular inspection: Have your brake pads and rotors checked at regular intervals every 15,000–20,000 km.
Proper tire maintenance: Ensure tires are inflated to the correct pressure to prevent uneven brake wear.
Smooth driving habits: Avoid sudden stops o r excessive braking, especially in traffic, and anticipate stops to reduce brake pad usage.

These strategies will help extend the life of your brake pads and maintain safe braking performance.
